parents refuse to pay for Christening cake because they think the ornamental bear looks like it has, in MN parlance, a fango.

Crease is wrong, but the flowers were sweet. As ghostyslovesleep says, it could be worse:

I'm with you gatekeeper - how is it possible that so few women know what their vagina is?

Well they certainly look like little girl bears Grin but offensive? no! get a grip!

LokiBear · 20/06/2015 21:09

I'd have asked them to either smooth out the seam or score it right to the very top of the bears body.

The mother saw her way to get her sadface in the paper.

Sadface addiction is a modern scourge.

TheoriginalLEM · 20/06/2015 21:15

The mother just didn't want to pay for the cake!! I bet she keeps the tickets on dresses and returns them after she's worn them!

What i want to know is this - even if it was intended to look like a vagina, all it does to me is make the teddies look like little girl teddies. So what is offensive about a naked baby????

NorahDentressangle · 20/06/2015 21:15

Surely vagina is where babies come out, vulva is the flaps so the front bit is actually ?pudenda or did I just make that up?

No not pudenda, it means outer sex organs.

Perhaps pubic area is more correct. Yes, that's more sensible, where the pubes are found.

Rihannah, Tomas and Tahlia.

Lady needs a spell check to go with her reality check.

SunnyBaudelaire · 20/06/2015 21:17

thank you for clarifying that norah

GeorgianaDevonshire · 20/06/2015 21:17

Yes, I know the difference between a vagina and a vulva. However, in the real world people usually say vagina or tuppence and we all know what we mean.

OTheHugeManatee · 20/06/2015 21:18

There's definitely a fadge on that bear Grin

Magicalmrmistofeles · 20/06/2015 21:18

It's mumsnet, it is surely a VULVA.

AbsentMindedNumpty · 20/06/2015 21:19

Definitely looks like a janjo but I wouldn't have complained and sent cake back, would have had a giggle with everyone at the do.

It does look very much like female genitalia (dodges argument).

Can't believe the woman made quite that much fuss, though. It looks like a lovely cake and all she had to do was smudge it over. For heaven's sake.

NoStannisNo · 20/06/2015 21:33

I just knew this would appear on MN and I fucking KNEW the 'its not a vagina its a vulva, I can't believe women don't even know their own body parts' thing would start a few posts in.......I think I need a break from here!

Is 'pudenda' an actual anatomical term? What the fuuuuuuuccckkkk?!!!

NoStannisNo · 20/06/2015 21:34

But to be fair it totally looks like a 'front bum'.

SunnyBaudelaire · 20/06/2015 21:35

Grin front bottom, please!! "Bum" indeed!

SpudCunt · 20/06/2015 21:39

I'm more shocked that people want to smudge the icing to rub it out. You'd make it all messy that way. Better to get a knife and increase the cut so it was more like a seam, and less like a lady bear camel toe/vulva/vagina/pudenda/girly bits/front bum/fanjo/foofoo/gash.

NorahDentressangle · 20/06/2015 21:41

The vulva is the flaps below and protecting the entrance to the vagina surely!

Imagining a teddy cake with a prominent vulva is not a nice thought to end the day with Shock

Gileswithachainsaw · 20/06/2015 21:41

That cake looks amazing.

I'd have just laughed. seriously get a life.

The three some cake was far more worthy of discussion Grin

NoStannisNo · 20/06/2015 21:49

I think the point is......no one really cares!

GeorgianaDevonshire · 20/06/2015 21:51

I have asked MNHQ to amend the thread title.

It will now read 'AIBU to think the bear on this cake has had a Brazilian wax of their lady garden?'

Hope this will soothe troubled waters.
